> If i print a page when the HP1700 is turned off (and the print server is powered on) the printer in the cups status page will be turned in stop status (and will never be restarted also if i turn on the printer), if I turn off the *print server* the job remain in queue ("... retry in 60 seconds") and when i turn on the print server this will be printed.

I have the same problem with an HP 3300 with print server...  the printer will be set in "stop" mode and i need restart it manually, this is a problem because only who know the root password can restart the printer.
